Leading Quality Improvement: Essentials for Managers

In successful health care systems, managers play a vital role in meeting their organizations’ key strategic and improvement goals. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI's) Leading Quality Improvement: Essentials for Managers uses innovative teaching methods to enhance engagement and deepen understanding of quality improvement to improve organizational efficiency.

# Turn High-Level Objectives Into Action

As the bridge between senior leadership and the front lines, it is a manager’s job to turn high-level objectives into action at the department or unit level. Far too often, managers are not equipped or supported with the right skills, resources, or guidance to achieve their aims. 

This program begins by guiding experienced managers through assessing their own leadership and work styles. It continues by building quality planning skills to identify, align, and prioritize improvement opportunities within a unit or care team through leveraging both qualitative and quantitative data. Participants will also learn basic quality improvement and quality control tools and methods, as well as strategies to engage front-line staff in each of these phases of the improvement journey.

# What You'll Learn

After completing this online course, you will be able to:

  • Describe the skills, tools, and resources needed for mid-level managers to effectively lead quality improvement efforts at the local level.

  • Demonstrate how to link department-level improvement activities to the organization’s goals and overall strategic plan.

  • Apply approaches to quality planning, quality control, and quality improvement that can be used by mid-level managers to successfully partner with front-line staff and key stakeholders.

Throughout this virtual program, experts with a wealth of experience in improvement science, measurement, modeling, coaching, innovation, and making the business case for improvement will facilitate discussion about the key takeaways from the cases while teaching the skills managers need to excel in their jobs. 

# Who Should Attend

This program is for anyone who has direct reports and manages an organization's strategic goals at the microsystem or unit level, including:
  • Nurses
  • Physicians
  • Directors
  • Managers (Especially Risk, Quality, and/or Safety Managers)
  • Supervisors
  • Department heads
  • Health care administrators

Participants from any discipline — including leaders who work in health care and clinical settings, academia, industry, health care insurance, and other settings — are welcome to participate. This program is also particularly beneficial for those transitioning or desiring to transition from a clinical to a leadership role.

L’environnement de l’information au Canada est-il sain? Agir contre la mésinformation.

Cet évenément est présenteé pa rl’Association médicale canadienne et le Canadian Club de Toronto 

Avec la participation de : David Coletto (chef de la direction, Abacus Data), Dre Joss Reimer (présidente, Association médicale canadienne), Dre Theresa Tam (administratrice en chef de la santé publique du Canada), Craig Silverman (journaliste spécialisé dans le reportage national au média d’enquête indépendant ProPublica et expert en matière de mésinformation), Angela Pacienza (directrice de la rédaction, The Globe and Mail) et Elamin Abdelmahmoud (animateur de l’émission COMMOTION sur les ondes de la CBC).

Au cours des dernières années, on assiste à une métamorphose spectaculaire de la manière dont l’information parvient aux Canadiennes et aux Canadiens. Qu’il s’agisse des médias traditionnels, des médias sociaux ou des nouvelles sources en ligne, la façon dont la population consomme les faits et comprend le pays a radicalement changé. En peu de temps, nous sommes passés d’un petit nombre de sources de vérité centralisées à un écosystème extrêmement fragmenté, souvent divisé en chambres d’écho alimentées par des préjugés, des préférences et des algorithmes opaques, propices à la polarisation. Dans cet environnement dynamique, les leaders de tous les secteurs doivent déterminer les meilleurs moyens de répondre aux besoins des Canadiennes et des Canadiens et leur transmettre les informations qui leur importent le plus.

Les enjeux sont particulièrement élevés dans le secteur de la santé, où la mésinformation peut avoir des conséquences vitales. Pour faire la lumière sur cette question cruciale, l’Association médicale canadienne (AMC) a demandé à la société Abacus Data de faire le point sur l’état actuel de l’environnement de l’information au Canada. Le sondage de suivi annuel de l’AMC sur la santé et les médias, qui s’appuie sur des données de sondage originales, jette un éclairage nouveau sur la propagation de la mésinformation sur la santé, ses causes et les stratégies à mettre en œuvre pour y remédier. Joignez-vous au Canadian Club de Toronto le 21 janvier prochain pour la présentation des résultats du sondage de 2025 et de nouvelles données dans le cadre d’une étude de cas éloquente, à l’intersection de la santé et des médias. Cette conversation permettra non seulement de mettre en lumière les défis actuels, mais aussi d’explorer les possibilités de changements majeurs.

David Coletto, chef de la direction d’Abacus Data, présentera les résultats de ce travail, puis un groupe d’experts discutera de la suite des choses. Ce groupe réunira les personnes suivantes :

  • Dre Joss Reimer, présidente de l’Association médicale canadienne
  • Dre Theresa Tam, administratrice en chef de la santé publique du Canada
  • Craig Silverman, journaliste spécialisé dans le reportage national au média d’enquête indépendant ProPublica et expert en matière de mésinformation
  • Angela Pacienza, directrice de la rédaction du Globe and Mail
  • Elamin Abdelmahmoud, modérateur de la conversation et animateur de l’émission COMMOTION à la radio de la CBC

Cet événement est disponible en virtuel, en anglais, avec interprétation simultanée en français​. La diffusion en direct pour les personnes invitées en mode virtuel commence à 12 h 30 (HE)

Panel Discussion: How Healthy is Canada’s Information Environment? Action in the Face of Misinformation

This event is hosted by the Canadian Medical Association and the Canadian Club Toronto

Canada has experienced stunning change over the past several years in the way Canadians receive information. Across the spectrum of traditional news, social media, and emerging online sources, the way Canadians consume facts and understand this country has shifted in a seismic way. In a short time, we’ve moved from a few single points of truth to a wildly fragmented ecosystem, often split into echo chambers driven by bias and preference, fueled by opaque algorithms, and plagued by polarization. This dynamic environment is challenging leaders across industries on how to respond and best reach Canadians with the information they care about most.

The stakes are particularly high in the health sector, where misinformation can have life-or-death consequences. To shed light on this critical issue, the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) has commissioned Abacus Data to explore the current state of Canada’s information environment. Their annual CMA Health & Media Tracking Survey with original polling data offers insights into the spread of health misinformation, its drivers, and actionable strategies to address it. Join Canadian Club Toronto on January 21 for the release of the 2025 survey results and new polling data, offering a compelling case study at the intersection of health and media. This conversation will not only unpack the current challenges but also explore the opportunities for meaningful change.

Abacus Data CEO David Coletto will present the results of this work, followed by a panel of experts who will discuss what needs to happen next.

This expert panel features:

  • Dr. Joss Reimer – President, Canadian Medical Association
  • Dr. Theresa Tam – Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer
  • Craig Silverman – ProPublica National Reporter & Misinformation expert
  • Angela Pacienza – Executive Editor, The Globe and Mail
  • Moderated by Elamin Abdelmahmoud, Host of CBC Radio’s COMMOTION

The in-person event, which starts at 11:30 am, is sold out. For virtual attendees, please note that the live stream will begin at approximately  12:30pm ET & the link will be provided closer to the event date.

Building Social Connections: Designing multi-unit housing for social well-being

This webinar is presented by the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health. 

Join Happy Cities for an engaging discussion on designing housing that fosters well-being and social connection. As urban areas across Canada push for denser, faster housing development, it is critical to ensure these spaces support community connection, sustainability, and inclusion.

Happy Cities, a leading urban planning consultancy, has partnered with Hey Neighbour Collective and Simon Fraser University researchers to co-create innovative policies with five municipalities and one First Nation. Drawing on a decade of research in public health, psychology, and behavioural economics, this collaboration has culminated in a new toolkit offering evidence-based strategies for designing sociable multi-unit housing.

This session will explore how the design of multi-unit housing impacts neighbourly interactions and resident well-being. We’ll share actionable principles and insights to advocate for inclusive, connected communities.

As we face growing challenges like housing affordability, social isolation, and climate change, strengthening social connections is key to creating resilient, sustainable communities. Explore the toolkit here.
